What about using the game system logos instead of plain text links on the left side?

Like that idea, it will look much better

[e_brugal]

What about the inlays, don't you like the idea of having an inlay section?

I like the idea of an inlay link, but the stance here seems to be that if it isn't a retail cover that meets a high standard, then it belongs in the forums. Some of the retail covers that have been approved don't meet the high standard because the standard changed at some point, but there's no way to tell which is which.

Don't understand, there are retails and customs covers, if there is custom covers why not have inlay, it's the same as custom covers.

If you bring up the discrepancy the admins tend to curse and use a lot of exclamation points and capital letters. It's sort of funny.

There is a classification on the site for inlays. The recent Ocarina of Time 3DS uploads feature a "Custom Inlay".

Wallpapers don't count. 99% of all inlays i've seen on the forums aren't inlays ... they are wallpapers stretched out to fit the size of a cover.  If someone makes an inlay that has some extra thought put into it and is not a simple cut and past wallpaper then it does stand a chance to be uploaded.

Like my inlays?
I put a lot of work into them to make sure it looks good in a case,  and I also only use official art that goes with the game. The game does not block main parts of the are. Many of my inlays were a huge pain because I had to rebuilt most of the right side.
So if Inlays are allowed, I would love for you to take a look at mine.

It takes awhile to get used to that extra tab, I still sometimes hit that instead of quote.

Those are what i refer to as wallpapers. Yes they use official art and its rearranged but its still just a big image. I rarely ever upload inlays (maybe 3 in the last 5 years)

Yeah, it happens a lot in the beginning

Ok, So stuff like Inlays that came with the game, or maybe useful information, Like a Star Tropics inlay with the letter included with the game?

Yeah, I'm clicking Admin instead of Profile a lot.

Yeah pretty much. It depends on what the letter looks like so ... maybe.
Lets not derail this further. If you have any more questions about it just pm me.

Few things that I personally would like to see implemented.

1) Uploaded cover Feedback
- Ratings (high demand)
-- This will allow admins to upload really crappy covers and allow users to know that the cover is crap. 

- Comments / Download Feedback (low demand)
-- Admins can clear this when they upload a new picture?  This request is virtually garbage

2) On actual "Download" page, there could be a "raws" zip or link.
-- This would allow bad covers to be fixed easier instead of navigating through a labyrinth of pages to find.


3) (this has been suggested already): Everyone knows what system they are looking for (why the hell else would they be here?), so instead of listing the names, list pictures of the systems by company and console / handheld



Then break this image up and place them into companies

Consoles

Nintendo:
NES   SNES   N64
GameCube    Wii   WiiU

Sony:
PS1   PS2   PS3

Microsoft:
Xbox    Xbox360    XboxOne

etc...


Handhelds
Nintendo:
GB    GBC    GBA
DS    3DS

Sony:
PSP    PS Vita


you catch my drift.  Alphabetical is nice, but if I am looking for a Nintendo System, is it under Nintendo Wii or Wii?  Is the Super Nintendo next to the NES and N64?  Not on this site =P

Few suggestions =S

I think the order of the consoles under each company, don't know which one would be better, the icon or the name, both are good option

[Rx_79]

I think maybe listing company, then have the icons under the company name.

including handhelds under company name

something like this:


Newest to oldest under company name.

The company name can be with the logo of the each company

Thank you for doing that, I was just being lazy =D

We all know what system we are looking for, so the icons would be logical.  If we are looking for a TG-16 Cover... and we don't know what a TG-16 looks like (sometimes I find some games for consoles I don't own), highlighting over it will state what the name is.  I haven't don't web dev in like 4 years, but I think the tag is desc="TurboGrafx 16".  I'm probably wrong.


Also I feel that the COMPANY NAMES should not be pictures, because then people will be clicking it, trying to go to a "sony" cover page, but would never happen.  I feel the companies should be typed out
